Chapter 1288: Jiaozhong Fortification

Qiao Mu nodded in absolute agreement.

Only by knowing both the enemy and themselves would they be ever-victorious. Yet they weren’t even sure who the people in that organization were, so they had always been put in a passive position. They should indeed go make contact to learn more about them.

​

The golden dragon flew a full three days and two nights on this journey to Jiaozhong Base. In that time, they had only stopped twice to rest and cook food.

Every once in a while, they would also encounter several ignorant zombies, who were all swiftly dealt with. Qiao Mu simply didn’t have to worry about it.

When they were still five kilometers away, they could see a batch of refugees madly galloping in their direction from far away.

These people should be the survivors that had fled from Jiaozhong Base.

In contrast to Jiaozhong Base’s original population of several tens of thousands of people, only less than 3000 people had escaped.

But the most worrying thing was that perhaps there were people who had secretly gotten infected among them. It was possible that a mutation would break out and harm another group of people again.

After escaping from Jiaozhong Base, these refugees would definitely rush toward the nearest and largest base: Rice City Base.

However, due to safety reasons, Rice City Fortification’s City Lord would not necessarily allow these people inside their city. That much was certain.

It wasn’t that Rice City Base’s City Lord was being selfish. It was simply that as the city lord, he of course had to first consider all matters from the point of view of Rice City Base’s citizens.

Allowing these 3000 people to stay while they were engulfed by hunger and terror may create more problems.

“Little Seven, descend.” Mo Lian pointed down below.

It was only a two to four hours’ walk from where they were to Jiaozhong Base. They could see that the Jiaozhong Base in the distance seemed to be enshrouded by layers of black mist. It was as if it had thoroughly evolved into a ghost city.

Mo Lian frowned as he suppressed the fury in his heart.

This was the underground organization’s provocation to him.

After all, he had successively provoked the underground organization’s two bases: the underground village and the large base in the Mystic Beast Forest.

After several days, the underground organization started to counterattack to knock him down a notch.

According to his conjecture, this was the reason Jiaozhong Base got attacked.

There were so many bases in the whole nation that it was impossible for him to pay attention to all aspects. For a small and remote base like this, the precautionary measures definitely weren’t as comprehensive as the large fortifications’.

Even though he had already ordered them all to keep watch over their water sources, there were too many holes to exploit in small fortifications.

After the golden dragon descended from the clouds, Mo Lian jumped down while carrying Qiao Mu. The hundred great mystic cultivators behind him also hopped down before landing on the ground lightly.

Many among the 3000 refugees who were hastening on their journey let out shouts of surprise as they stared wide-eyed at this group of “immortals” who descended from the sky.

“Wow! Mom, look, look at the sky!”

“Wow, a big fox is flying!”

“A fox has ascended to the sky!”

After Duan Yue leapt down, the Seven-Tailed Heavenly Fox transformed into a gleaming light and instantly disappeared into the mystic beast space inside his body.

The young golden dragon Seventh Yan also spiraled in the sky before returning into Mo Lian’s body instantly with a whisk of its dragon tail.

At this time, level-seven mystic cultivator strode out from the group of refugees and cupped his fists toward Mo Lian and company. He inquired fervently, “Are, are you the great mystic cultivators the royal court sent to take charge of sweeping through Jiaozhong Base.”

Mo Lian nodded. “Mhm. How is the current situation in Jiaozhong Fortification.”
